I am back outside today in our patio area, this time with an orange & gray themed tablescape. Honestly this color combo sort of evolved on it’s own. I was collecting a few items to bring out on the table, and as soon as I placed them down all together, I loved the warmer tones of the copper and wood paired with the gray and white flannel blanket. I grabbed some muted pumpkins and some dark napkins, and before I knew it the look was complete!
I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity to be featured by the Cottage Journal. It was so fun to read the article and see our home through the eyes of their lens. And if you’ve ever wondered why I named my blog “Rooms for Rent”, I’m sharing all about in the interview.
Whether this is your first time visiting, or you’ve been a regular reader for a while, it’s no secret I love creating tablescapes! Honestly they are probably just about my most favorite thing to do ever, and I’m so excited to be participating in todays Season of Home series – Fall Tablescapes. This past spring we expanded our outdoor patio area, and transformed what was once over grown weeds and debris into this outdoor eating area. We have been fully enjoying this new space all summer long, and I’m so excited to continue to use it this fall, as we gather for chillier nights around the fire.
Hello Friends!! I’m so happy to be joining in another round of the Seasonal Simplicity Fall Series this week, this time sharing our fall decorated mantles or vignettes! Honestly, vignettes are my favorite thing to create – next to Tablescapes that is, I love creating smaller arrangements, and the flexibility to change it up as often as I feel, or leave it that way for months if I like. There is so much flexibility with it, and I like to think it’s the one thing I’ve been doing since I was 13, lol! The dresser turned buffet in our dining room is where I change out my decor seasonally the most. I love clearing it off completely and creating a new vignette every time. For fall I like to keep things pretty simple, stacked pumpkins are my go to, and I love how subtle these muted pumpkins bring in all the feels for fall.
Hello Friends, and happy FRIDAY!! Is it me or did this week fly by? Maybe it’s because Monday was a holiday, maybe it’s because I started sharing some fall decor posts? Who knows, whatever the reason I’m so glad Friday is here, and the weekend is knocking on my door. Today is the final day of the Farmhouse Home Tour series. In case you are new around here, every friday throughout the summer months I’ve been sharing a farmhouse style home tour here on the blog! You can catch all the tours HERE, on this permanent page on my blog, and I’m already looking forward to continuing with the series next summer, and am planning on a special holiday edition as well, so stay tuned for more!
Hello Friends! I’m so glad you enjoyed my DIY fall “wreath” I shared yesterday! It had been quite a while since I had crafted if you will, and it felt so nice to do something a little different than just decorating. I shared the fall planter hanging on our kitchen door. It’s the main entry we use, walking right into…

I decided to do something little bit different than a traditional wreath. I love getting fresh wreaths for fall that will last me until Christmas, but since it’s still supposed to be in the high 80’s this week, I wanted to wait until the temperature drops a bit so it doesn’t speed up the drying out time. I wanted something that could be hung on our door, but also used in other places around our house as well.

Hello Friends!!! I can’t believe summer is finally starting to wind down. The kids started back to school on Thursday, and with temps in the 50’s at night, it sure feels like fall is knocking on our doorstep. I have some subtle fall decor posts lined up to share with you all next week. I can’t wait, but in the meantime I am winding down the Farmhouse Style Home Tour series I’ve been sharing with you each Friday this past summer. Today is vol. 14, and next week will be the final Friday with vol. 15. You can go back and catch all of the beautiful home tours HERE.
First of all I want to say thank you so much for all of your sweet comments on my “Dream” post! I really love being able to share from my heart, and plan to do so more. I want to not only inspire women in their homes but encourage their dreams – whatever they may be – as well! So thank you for allowing me to do just that! In case you missed it, and maybe could use a little encouragement in your life, you can check out the post HERE, where I shared about how I overcame my fear, and began to start pursuing the dream that God put on my heart 6 years ago! Today however I have some exciting news I want to share with you all. I’ve shared before how I want to start incorporating more lifestyle posts on the blog, and perhaps a little more transparency with you.
